2nd GMAT Score less than 1st GMAT score ???

by lavared » Thu Jul 29, 2010 5:07 pm
Hi

I had taken GMAT earlier (3yrs) back in which i scored 690 (Verbal-49%, Quant-89%, AWA-4.5). I was planning to apply to schools this year and hence took GMAT again a few days back in order to improve my verbal section. However to my horror, this time my GMAT score came out to be 640 (Quant-93%, Verbal-40%), which is lower than my 1st GMAT score. I'm not sure what i need to do now. Do you'll suggest I take the exam again, as I have been consistently scoring above 710 in the GMat practice/Manhattan tests. I was planning to apply to London MBA and INSEAD MBA programs.

Please suggest.

Thanks.
